Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

I have no connections to Widnes or Leigh, I was just providing an alternative to League Freaks view who posted above me.

I'm aware that it's not just about 'housing', just mentioned I was really impressed with Leighs new turf but if they were to suceed at SL level they need to tap into the Bolton market. Salfords expanding catchment area is much bigger but they really do need to get the new ground sorted. They did promise after all, same with Wakey. Without that ground it is my personal opinion they are behind Widnes in the criteria, but as someone else pointed out, we dont make the decisions do we.


When will people learn , there is NO criteria , it does not exist :lol:

It hasn't stopped your persecution complex – although of course that would rather put a damper on your wallowing in self pity.


What sanctimonious drivel.

Did my post, in any way shape or form, hold YOU personally responsible for the activity of every poster generally on here? Did it? Do your singular actions in this respect negate the general ill feeling on here whenever my team is even mentioned in passing, by anyone?

That is the essence of the problem. Quite often when I've posted on here or elsewhere in the past, people have swayed conversations to what team I support. I totally reject your generalisations about widnes fans. Just because Viking warrior turns up every so often to make a single sarcastic post it should not give anyone the right - or the compulsion - to treat us all with contempt or judge us by the team we support.

But like I say, I'll leave you to it. It's no fun coming on here anymore so whats the point.

Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

Still, at least you didn't throw your toys so far out of the pram, like one C Dalton Esq, that you actually resigned from moderating a forum on here that doesn't even discuss RL because you were so apparently unhappy with last June's decisions and presumably hold this online community and a non-RL forum to be partially responsible. :wink:


Pepe wrote:
Er.... no.

Why would you say this?


OK, I’ll try to assess why you would say this.

It cannot be for anything I’ve actually written so it can only be an attempt to tar me as a bitter little Widnes fan that only wants to whinge about not being given a licence. This would be very convenient wouldn’t it?

However, as I have already said, neither I nor any other Widnes fan has been on this thread, with the obvious exception of Fingerpostsfinest who doesn’t seem to be all there at times, whinging about Salford or Celtic or the decisions made by the RFL last June. The majority are well over that and are currently trying to enjoy our continued existence in the lower leagues.

I have made this abundantly clear in my earlier posts. Therefore I have given you no reason at all to construct your last little rant.

The only subject I’m dealing with here is your attitude towards a comment made by a supporter of another club, that Widnes may be able to get 10,000 supporters with a top 8 club in SL. That’s it!

It was a perfectly reasonable remark, I’m not saying it was correct, but it's not exactly out-there either. I understand you regard the RFL’s decision as fair and can see why you would say you are glad odemwingie was not making the decision last June, but what you wrote at the end both insults Widnes supporters and odemwingie for the mere mention of it.

That is what has become the norm here. If you had just left it at:

Well what a damned shame that the RFL makes decision and not you, eh?

Imagine – the RFL had all the criteria and the franchise applications and the facts (such as financial situation) to study, and you didn't.

Then there's no issue.

But you just couldn’t could you. You seem to need to put such positive comments about some clubs down with a snide remark. I can only assume to intimidate anyone else from being in anyway positive about lower league, non-expansion clubs?

Now, to add insult to injury, you have decided to take a few looney Widnes fans’ comments over the past few months, and make the assumption we are all the same, when you couldn’t be further from the truth. Sadly you’re not the only one on this board with that view. It’s also a very convenient tactic to employ when making the mistake of typing something that shows you up for what you really are.

Another one who's presumably got some evidence to back up this implication that Pepe's assertion has some basis in reality.

Don't worry, Starbug, we'll wait patiently for you to share it with us.

So you missed the word "some" or don't understand what it means?
